Inspired by Simon Willison’s JSON micro-apps: json-time, json-head, and json-tinyurl, I created another Google App Engine powered site that produces Weather Alert information as JSON and JSON-P.

http://json-alerts.appspot.com/

Given a common place name (e.g. city, state or county name) or ZIP code, the current weather alerts for that zone will be returned along with location and timezone information. Place names are mapped to a county and timezone using the Yahoo! GeoPlanet web service. Weather alerts are provided by the NOAA’s state-by-state CAP feed.
